HP P6000 - Manual (Page 76)

is the account username on the server running the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector service.
The user is a member of HP Storage Admins or HP Storage Users group. This is required only if
SSL is enabled. The user is prompted for a password. username
is the switch that will enable an open SSL connection. If SSL is enabled, the user account used
for logging in should belong to either the HP Storage Admins or HP Storage Users group. The usessl
parameter evapdcs.SslEnabled needs to be set to true in evaperf.conf file to enable
SSL mode operations.
Note the following:
•
Authentication is required only for remote clients.
•
A new file, rpcserver.conf, is created on the client side after the remote HP P6000
Performance Data Collector service configuration.
•
The TCP port for the HP P6000 Performance Data Collector service port can be changed by
changing the parameter Evapdcs.RPCPort to the required port number in the
evaperf.conf
file.
•
Any change to the default settings is accomplished by changing the values in the
evaperf.conf
file. Before executing the change, the sampleevaperf.conf file must be
renamed to evaperf.conf. HP recommends that you then change the value for the desired
parameter. After changing the values, save the file and restart the HP P6000 Performance
Data Collector service for the changes to take effect.
Return to the normal mode of operation by deleting the rpcserver.conf file and restarting the
HP P6000 Performance Data Collector service.
SSL protocol
HP P6000 Performance Data Collector supports SSLv3 protocol only. Earlier versions are not
supported. The default port number remains 860.
SSL is slower than a traditional unsecured TCP/IP connection. The initial handshake involves use
of public key cryptography, which is very slow. After the initial handshake is complete and the
session is established, the overhead is significantly reduced, but is slower than an unsecured TCP/IP
connection.
Prohibited commands
HP P6000 Performance Data Collector is not installed or available on the EVA4400, P6300 EVA,
or P6500 EVA management module. However, with HP P6000 Command View array-based
management, you can install HP P6000 Performance Data Collector on a server with a Fibre
Channel connection to the array and use it to monitor the performance of the EVA4400, P6300
EVA, or P6500 EVA.
When HP P6000 Performance Data Collector client is remotely connected to the HP P6000
Performance Data Collector server, you cannot execute the following commands:
•
dpw wwn
•
luns
•
pfa [array]*
•
pfd
•
pfh
•
pfs
•
pfvd [vdisk]*
•
